Where to goAdmin Area → Setup → Roles or Purchase → Settings → Permissions
Before you start
  • Use an account with Administrator or relevant status capability and confirm the intended record or setting before making a change.
  • Follow the exact route above. If the screen or action is absent, check module activation, ownership and permissions rather than using another person’s account.
  • Use controlled test data for configuration, integration, email, AI, payment, portal or automation changes before production-wide use.

What this guide helps you do

Grant view own, view, create, edit and delete for purchase_vendor_items. The instructions reflect the supplied module’s registered menus, controller actions, views, settings and code-backed validation flow.

Follow these steps

  1. Go to Admin Area → Setup → Roles or Purchase → Settings → Permissions.
  2. Select the exact record or option described in this guide.
  3. Complete the displayed fields or action using the rules below.
  4. Save or submit once and resolve any validation response.
  5. Check the resulting record, status, file, notification or integration effect.

Fields and options

Vendor identityCompany/name, code, tax/VAT, phone, website, category/group, address and status as exposed by the vendor form.
Contacts and accessVendor contacts, vendor administrators, portal status, language and welcome/notification settings where applicable.

Approval setupName, related transaction type, approval type and approver rows/conditions.
DecisionCurrent approver, decision, reason, signature/upload and notification.

Rules and limits

  • Vendor actions are capability-gated; portal functions also depend on the vendor-portal setting and contact authentication.
  • Item and vendor-item operations use separate capability groups.
  • Spreadsheet imports can create an error file for rejected rows; review it before retrying.
  • Record access does not automatically grant the dedicated change-status capability.
  • The module supports configured approval routes for purchase requests, orders, returns and FAF flows.

Check it worked

  • The supported assign vendor items permissions flow completes without bypassing permission or validation checks.
  • The resulting record, setting, status, file, delivery event or external response is visible from the relevant workspace.
  • Unexpected validation, provider or linked-record errors are investigated before retrying.

Security, privacy and operational checks

  • Apply least privilege to purchasing, vendor, invoice, payment, return, contract and report permissions.
  • Verify vendor identity, bank/payment details, tax, currency, totals and approvals before creating financial commitments.
  • Treat public links, signatures, portal files, attachments and exported reports as controlled business records.
  • Test settings and automated jobs with controlled records before production-wide use.
